‘Open Letter to the Community’ from New Canaan Library Board

The New Canaan Library has always been a force for good. Its 143-year compact with the town centers on its role as a place where the community intersects around learning, literacy and the celebration of ideas. Generations of talented librarians have helped New Canaan children learn to read, students to prepare, and adults to satisfy their curiosity and learn new skills. From the beginning New Canaan Library has been well supported by the families of New Canaan. The virtuous cycle of mutual support is an affirmation of the central role the library plays in our community.
